Can an owner sue a vet for?

This is the USA, people CAN sue for any darn thing, does not mean she would win.

People sue other people and businesses for the most stupid reasons, occasionally they win.

I think you can get some thing on the vet fees in small claims court (as much as $5,000 now I think). You will have documentation with the vet charges, cremation cost and the record made by way of Animal manipulate. The canine homeowners have been obviously in violation of the legislation. At the very least AC can register the puppies are "detrimental" and require that they be leashed and muzzled when off the homeowners property. Perhaps they can confiscate the puppies and impose fines or reformatory time too. They are not able to get any financial recompense for you and also you will have to go after these sob's with all guns ablaze. I'm so sorry for the tragic lack of your dear kitty and hope that the surviving one will make it.

She can't sue a vet clinic for treating her dog. If she wants a specific vet she needs to make the appointment with that vet and be there for the exam, not drop the dog off and leave. There is no grounds for a lawsuit.

Your clinic is free to tell her to use a different vet clinic. They can give her the option of seeing 'this' vet or 'that' one but if the vet she wants is unavailable, then a notification of that should be made. She is welcome to take her business to a referred clinic.

Frankly you don't need an idiot like this. Refusal to see a client with a non life threatening injury to their pet is perfectly fine and not something a person can sue over.

She just left her dog there and didn't stay for the physical? She sounds like she is a bit off her rocker. She can't sue if somebody else in the clinic, that is qualified, handles her dog. As long as you aren't letting random people come in off the street and perform medical procedures on her dog, there is absolutely nothing she can sue over! That is just ridiculous! Now, if you were to leave the dog in a cage and let it starve to death...that is a lawsuit. But, nobody can sue because another vet touched their dog.

Just because someone sues sure doesn't mean that they will win. I wouldn't want such a 'fuss-budget' in my clinic, if I had one, and would probably have told her if she wanted another vet to go out and find one, but don't come back here. You can reserve the right to refuse service to anyone. There is always a counter suit for frivolous suits brought against a person, too, and she should be make aware of that (by someone else, of course). Good luck.

One can sue another for anything. Whether or not it will make it into court is another story.

Most lawyers would advise her that she'll have to show some kind of loss or injury to sue. If she persists in wanting to sue, some lawyers will take the case just to collect a few bucks, but once it hits the court, a judge may refuse to hear the case if he/she deems that it lacks merit. And I'm pretty sure not getting the vet she wanted and no loss or injury to show for it, qualifies as lacking merit.

So, no worries!

can she sue? yes, of course

will she win? depends

if, when she dropped off the dog, the vet clinic agreed to her terms... or more specifically didn't open discussion about how those terms would not be met..... then it can be construed that her terms were agreeable & that there was a verbal contract in place

if it can be shown that there was a verbal agreement (or nothing to let her know her terms would not be met).... then it is possible she could win on the basis of breach of contract alone

if she really favors one vet over another one.... then it is in her best interest to make an appointment with the vet she prefers & simply wait with her dog to see that vet

I know that my vet's office would recommend that if this woman wants her dog to see a specific vet & be handled in very specific ways, then it would be best for her to make an appointment & plan to accompany the dog for it's appointment

I have heard employees of my dog's vet office say things like "we will try to do as you ask, but we work with many patients throughout the day & can not guarantee we can do exactly as you ask... because your dog has very specific needs, it would be best for you to make an appointment with the vet you want your dog to see & plan to accompany your pet during this visit"

There is an attorney out there for anything people would like to sue for. Can the person sue? Of course. Will it get tossed out of court? Most likely. If not, would the person win? Highly doubtful.

No idea, but you do have the right to stop serving her. Ask her to either let the people working there handle the dog or to find someone else, she'll either come around or you'll be stress free.

No, i believe you can not be sued over that. Normally vets do not go and pick up the pet bring it to the back and then put it in a cage and all.
